Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of anaesthetic mixtures inflammable in air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. In order to guarantee the performance indicated by the manufacturer, you are advised against using the equipment in zones with high short-wave presence or similar. 21

22 Unpacking Depending on the country of destination, Synchro can either come partially assembled in a cardboard pack attached to a pallet, or fully assembled, wrapped in a transparent plastic sheet and attached to a pallet. The packed material can be lifted and carried with normal lifting equipment. The instructions are printed directly on the pack. In order to ensure the safety of persons and property, you should think carefully about what lifting and transport equipment to use, in relation to the equipment s place of destination. As stated in the instructions on the pack, to unpack equipment delivered in a cardboard pack, remove the staples that attach the external packaging to the pallet, and then lift up the pack. Check the pack visually to make sure it is in a good, complete state. Remove the fasteners and place the contents of the pack on the ground. The Assembly instructions are enclosed with this guide. Warning Observe the legally stated urban waste disposal procedures when disposing of the packaging material. 22

23 Moving the equipment The equipment has two fixed rear wheels. To move the equipment, lift it up slightly, as shown in the illustration, and push it forwards and backwards. Given the weight of the equipment, we recommend that more than one person be involved in lifting it. If wheels cannot be used on the floor, move the equipment with normal lifting and transport methods. Warning Lift the equipment by holding onto the frame and not the levers or the control panel. Take great care when moving the equipment and positioning it on the ground, as it may overbalance. 23

24 Levelling The equipment is levelled by adjusting the two front feet and the central foot: - loosen the lock nut (B) and screw the front feet (A) in or out until the frame is in a stable position; - tighten up the lock nut (B) after adjusting. B A A 24

25 Electrical connection (700 and 500 versions) Before connecting the equipment to the mains power supply, ensure that the electrical system specifications comply to binding regulations. Check the mains power supply specifications on the label applied to the frame under the control panel. Danger The wall socket must be located in a place where the plugging and unplugging can be done easily and safely. When plugging in, the switch on the equipment must be in the 0 position (i.e. the equipment must be switched off). Plug the power cable first into the equipment socket and then into the wall socket. Warning Check the state of the power supply cable periodically. 25

26 Electrical connection (700 and 500 versions) Danger The power supply socket must be grounded. If not, a ground connection must be installed by a qualified electrician before connecting the equipment to the electricity mains. The product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Danger Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product; if it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 26

27 Connection to another device The equipment can be connected to an audio/video reception device such as the Cardio Theater. Besides, if the equipment has not TV, it can be connected to a network of devices conforming to the CSAFE protocol. Warning The devices connected must comply with international standards. Equipment with codes DA52M..., DA53M..., DA58M..., DA59M... can be connected to devices conforming to the CSAFE protocol only for setting and maintenance functions. Additional devices connected to the digital interface must conform to the respective IEC standards (that is IEC for information technology equipment and IEC for medical electrical equipment). Whoever connects additional equipment to the input or output signal ports, configures a medical system and therefore is responsible for the system s conformity to the IEC standard about systems. Consult the technical support department or your local representative if you have any doubts. 27

28 Connection to another device If the equipment has the TV, connect the aerial cable to the equipment and to the wall socket. Use an RF coaxial cable for the connection with an F type of connector for the equipment. The wall socket of the aerial cable must be positioned so that the plug can be easily inserted and removed. A network socket can be found next to the aerial socket for the Ethernet connection. 28

29 Routine maintenance As the equipment is used in a sports centre by more than one person, it should always be kept clean and free of dust, in accordance with normal hygiene and sanitary rules. To clean the control panel, proceed as follows: - turn the equipment off by switching the switch to the 0 position (700 and 500 versions); - unplug the equipment power cable from the wall socket (700 and 500 versions); - clean the control panel with a damp, but not wet, cloth. Every week, clean the equipment completely: - with the equipment turned off, clean the external parts with a damp sponge; - move the equipment to one side so that you can vacuum clean underneath it. Do not use chemical products or solvents. Warning Do not rub too hard on the control panel and diagrams, or on the written instructions on the stickers. The safety of the equipment is assured only on the condition that it is carefully inspected every two weeks for any signs of damage and/or wear. For maintenance actions not described in this manual, call in the Technogym Technical Service. 29

30 Routine maintenance Danger The routine maintenance, adjustment and lubrication jobs must be performed by the Technogym Technical Support Service. Before starting any job, turn the equipment off by switching the switch to the 0 position and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. 30

31 Changing the fuses (700 and 500 versions) Danger Before changing the fuses, switch the equipment off by switching the switch to 0 and unplug the power cable plug from the wall socket. Remove the fuse holder, to the right of the switch, by pushing the lever. Replace the blown fuse with a new one as supplied (3.15A (F). Fit the fuse holder back into its housing, making sure it clicks in properly. Danger If no more of the supplied fuses are available, use certified fuses with identical electrical specifications (3.15A (F) for the replacement. 31

32 Recharging the battery (700 SP and 500 SP versions) The 700 SP and 500 SP versions have to be kept moving to keep them turned on. If, when you stop moving, the control panel switches off without warning, the battery will have to be recharged. If, 30 seconds after starting movement, the resistance of the equipment is exceptionally high even at effort level 1, recharge the battery with the charger. Warning Do not use the equipment while the battery is recharging. Charger electrical specifications: Input Output Vac 0,8 A 50/60 Hz 15 V dc 24W Class II Warning Only use devices that comply with applicable standards. 32

33 Troubleshooting Below is a list of problems that may arise during normal use of the equipment. If the described remedies do not solve the problem, contact the Technical Support Service.

37 Storage If a long period of non-use is expected, you are advised to store the equipment in the following way: - in a clean dry place, with a dust cover; - at a room temperature between -10 C and 70 C and relative humidity between 20% and 90%. For better storage, use the original packing materials. 37

38 Disposing of the equipment always make sure that the equipment cannot become a hazard in any way, and do not leave it in places where children play. As a precaution, when the equipment is unused for a long time or when you want to dispose of it, unplug it from the mains. Disposing of the equipment on open ground, in public areas, or in private areas used by the public is prohibited. The equipment is made from recyclable materials such as steel, aluminium and plastic, which must be disposed of in the manner prescribed by the urban refuse collection regulations in force, by specialist environmental firms. Disposing of the battery The battery is made of non-recyclable materials: do not discard it in the environment. Contact specialist urban and environmental cleansing agencies for disposing of the battery. Disposing of the chest band The chest band, which transmits heart rate data, is not made of recyclable materials and therefore must not be disposed of on open ground. Contact a company specialized in urban and environmental sanitation. 38

39 Switching on and off To turn 700 and 500 versions of the equipment on, switch the switch to I position. To turn the 700 SP and 500 SP versions on, begin moving. When switched on, a beep sounds and all the control panel LEDs light up. After a quick system check (reset), the equipment is ready for use. In this mode, the following functions are enabled: - calculation of heart rate, if measured; - reading of access codes for configuration menu (see the Configuration Menu section in the software part). 39

40 Switching on and off To turn 700 and 500 versions of the equipment off, switch the main switch to the 0 position. If the equipment isn t going to be used for a long time, as well as turning it off you should also pull the plug out of the wall socket. Warning The switch is for turning the equipment on and off but does not isolate it completely from the mains voltage, even in the 0 position (off). For complete isolation you must unplug the power supply plug. To turn the 700 SP and 500 SP versions off, simply stop moving. The equipment must be switched off only at the end of the exercise, when in standby. 40

41 Monitoring the heart rate The equipment is able to measure heart rate trends, in two different ways: - with a device applied to the fixed handle or to the levers (hand sensor), that switches on when you grip the handles or levers in the sensor region (in 700 and 700 SP versions); - with a chest band with a heart rate transmitter (Polar T31). There must be no more than one transmitter in the reception range: otherwise the receiver may receive different signals at the same time and give incorrect heart readings. If there are several equipment units with heart rate receivers in the same area, the recommended minimum distance between them is 80 cm. 41

42 Monitoring the heart rate Heart rate readings will not be accurate near electromagnetic radiation sources (TVs, cellphones, etc.). Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the Technical Support Service. The following table shows the optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and the goal to be achieved. Theoretical maximum heart rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age using the formula: age. Heart rate per minute Age Area reserved for competitive athlete s workouts (requiring a doctor s certificate) Aerobic zone with a primarily cardiocirculatory component (keep heart rate between 70% and 90%) Aerobic zone primarily using fats as energy source (keep heart rate between 60% and 70%) Zone of little training interest 42

43 Monitoring the heart rate To read the graph, simply find your age on the horizontal axis and scan up the vertical until you reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values. Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly burns fat as an energy source. When doing aerobic exercise at a heart rate of 70% to 90% the cardiocirculatory component prevails. For example, if someone aged 30 wants to burn off fat, the heart rate during exercise should be kept to between 114 (60%) and 133 (70%); if he or she wants to improve cardio-respiratory capacity, the heart rate should be kept to between 133 (70%) and 171 (90%). Danger During a workout it is very important that your heart rate never goes above 90% of your maximum rate (unless you are an athlete engaged in competitive sport). Warning The sole function of the heart rate monitor is to display the heart rate during exercise and cannot be used for medical cardiac diagnoses of any kind. The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot be considered absolutely certain. 43

44 Ergonomic positioning on the equipment Step onto the equipment from one side and put one foot on each pedal. Grasp a fixed handle with one hand and set the program with the other on the control panel. To perform the movement with your lower limbs only, hold the fixed handles. To perform the movement with your upper limbs as well, hold the levers. At the beginning move slowly until you become familiar with the equipment and acquire balance. It is important that you get used to the movement without leaning forward and assuming unnatural positions. Once you become more confident, gradually increase the effort level. Constantly check your position: head held high, shoulders in line with the hips, abdomen sucked in and trunk erect. To maintain correct posture you must keep legs and feet parallel and gaze straight ahead. Warning Any distractions in the area around the equipment may cause the user to lose his/her balance. Synchro is to be used solely for its intended purpose, i.e. for aerobic exercise of the legs and arms. Any other use of the equipment is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous. 44
